in the last place they ever wanted to return to, sunyaev discovers they aren't as alone as they thought they were.

my first gpose comic. takes place during the lvl 50 drk quest "the wages of mercy." cw: dehumanizing language in flashback

#gpose #gposers #gposecomic #sidwol #sunyposting

(1/3)

Two dark knight au ra standing in Whitebrim with a backdrop of the snowy ground and a barren tree. Sunyaev is seen from the back, leaning back as though startled. Sidurgu is facing the camera has his arms folded and is saying his canon line "...I pray you do not make a habit of following men plotting to kill you into secluded areas." The text box is of standard FFXIV style and has the label ??? in the speaker's name area.

Side shot of Sunyaev with a background of the starry sky above whitebrim. Because of their helmet, only their mouth is visible, with a shocked expression. Four thought textboxes run down the starry area, saying
1) "That's--" in italics, left aligned
2) "That can't be--" in italics, can't bolded, right aligned
3i) "--there was n o t h i n g left but ash," in italics, spaced out nothing and ash in bold
3ii) The third thought box is surrounded by four black thought textboxes at angles - snippets of memory from the brutal flashback they are having. The two on top are in white text and say "Sunyaev, run--" with run in slightly larger text, and "Don't come out 'til I come for you--" The bottom two are in red text and say "Death to dragons and their consorts--" and "Don't let it get away--"
4) "...but..."

Same as previous shot but a slightly closer zoom on Sunyaev's face. Single text box in the starry area, saying "...S-Sid? Sidurgu?" The full Sid in the stuttered version is italicized."

Half body shot of Sid, who has placed his hand on the handle of his sword. His face is suspicious. Textbox, now with the label Sidurgu, says "...how do you know my name? Did Fray--"

okay so i did buy a stack of 50 earlier tonight just in case but i’m pretty sure i got stellar astronomer before i ran out of what i had before that.

beck @ stellar astronomer babey @astahfrith.bsky.social · 2d

taking bets on whether i run out of the stock of 500 cunning tisanes i made before 7.3 (i have 14 left) or get my stellar astronomer title first.

Extrapolating on this bit of Seanan's thread:

I keep talking a out data and this is stuff I'm talking about tbh. An investor doesn't csre about people gushing on some twitter clone (from their perspective), they just want data

Getting this book on the NYT will be a *phenomenal* data point

Please.

"Gosh, Seanan," you may say, "that sounds false and arbitrary! Why do you want it?"

Because it has cachet. It sounds good to the people who make choices about money and where it goes. Say "our first print novel in years made the NYT" and suddenly they may find funding for a second.

i am making myself pace myself and do like 125k ish per class per zone. i learned from the diadem. granted diadem was old content and they nerfed old stages so i didn’t have timegates or anything to pace myself with. nonetheless.

beck @ stellar astronomer babey @astahfrith.bsky.social · 6h

my final cosmic tasks before i take a break til the next zone are to get min/bot to 250k and to finish my ground supporter mech ops for both sinus/phaenna

everyone should read this 👁️👁️

"You can give someone who relies on SNAP a store-specific gift card...that can only be used to make purchases at Kroger...at Walmart...at Albertson’s — and it will not be counted against them by the SNAP program."

I firmly believe, with every single atom of my being, that instead of amplifying unreliable information that discourages helping, our focus as 42 million Americans face hunger must be on providing factual information that enables people to help.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS THE GAME TELLS ME I HAVE LESS THAN A MINUTE REMAINING TO FINISH THE MISSION.

i use innovation.

i pray.

i hit hasty touch.

IT GOES THROUGH! THE QUALITY BAR TURNS RED FOR MAX QUALITY ACHIEVED!

WITH MY FINAL 1-2 DURABILITY I USE BASIC SYNTHESIS & FINISH THE CRAFT.

I WIN!!

beck @ stellar astronomer babey @astahfrith.bsky.social · 7h

but wait. i have to be sure. i check the calculations window. NO. an unbuffed basic or hasty touch only gives 375 quality! i will fail by 10! (this mission is 100% or nothing)

i have to use innovation and then throw myself on the mercy of hasty touch’s 60% success rate.

beck @ stellar astronomer babey @astahfrith.bsky.social · 7h

let me set the scene: i have 11 or 12 durability left & 16 CP. i can use ONE quality skill & then i have to finish the craft. i have 385 quality to go. i use 14 CP on observe & get a lucky good proc & get 20 CP back from tricks of the trade. now i have enough CP to use basic touch instead of hasty…
